Health Care Serbian SOLT 1 Grammar Notes Module 5 Lesson 6 Impersonal Sentences with “Се.” There are several types of impersonal sentences in which the third person singular (not plural) of both transitive and intransitive verbs are used, accompanied by се to express general statements in which the subject is not present. The English equivalent would be: People say…, One says… etc. Study the examples below: Examples: Говори се да је он добар студент. People say that he is a good student. Шта се ради у лабораторији? What do people do in a laboratory? *Note: For the sentences in the past, the neuter form of the participle will be used. Овде се мало радило. Little work was done here. Passive Voice with “Се” Transitive verbs, regardless of whether they have “се” or not, are used in the third person singular or plural + се to express the passive voice. This passive construction is very common in English. Examples: Овде се лече многе болести. Many diseases are treated here. У лабораторији се контролише крв. The blood is checked in the laboratory. У Србији се говори српски. Serbian is spoken in Serbia. Аутобуска карта се купује на станици. A bus ticket is purchased at the station.

Health Care Serbian SOLT 1 Culture Notes Module 5 Lesson 6

The Healthcare System in the FRY

Most people in the FRY are covered by the state health system that guaranties free care, or at least care at a nominal cost. Most people are enrolled in the health care system through their jobs. However, some people in private and informal sector jobs are not enrolled in the system. In order to have access to state medical care, unemployed people must register with the unemployment bureau.

Most people use the public health care facilities but some use private health care facilities regularly. Those who use private care regularly are typically wealthier individuals who can afford paying much for medical services. Some people would go to private doctors but only in case of serious health problems, because they feel they would get higher quality care. Some patients may choose to pay extra for private care because of the long wait for treatment in a public hospital or clinic. Similarly, the FRY state pharmacies are free or highly subsidized, but they frequently do not have the medicines people need, forcing them to buy their prescriptions at expensive private pharmacies.
